Protest of sole source solicitation is denied where agency complied with requirements of Competition in Contracting Act of 1984 by executing a justification and approval authorizing the use of other than full and open competition procedures, because agency did not have in its possession sufficient, accurate, or legible data to purchase the part from any source other than the one known source.<p/>2. Protest of a solicitation's qualification procedures, filed after receipt of initial proposals, is not only untimely but fails to state a valid basis of protest, where protester fails to take issue with agency's need to assure equivalent functioning of parts and fails to identify the precise procedures that it considers unduly restrictive. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-262221/html/GAOREPORTS-B-262221.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-B-262221/pdf/GAOREPORTS-B-262221.pdf GAO/B-262221 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-B-262221 Comptroller General Decision GAO/B-262221; Navistar Marine Instrument Corporation;
